Wow-- I remember there being 20 recipes- and that they repeated them throughout the year, so you'd get the menu in Sept- with the starting dates for the repeats. Snow days threw it off, so you'd make a note on the mimeograph-- My wife doesn't remember that at her school-- but she did remember the accommodation for the Catholics-- meatless Fridays. I can only remember 3 of the 4 we got through elementary school- Mac & cheese, Pizza, Peanut butter sandwiches [no jelly- dry bread- could almost make you not like peanut butter sandwiches.]-- Oh yeah-- and fish sticks. I remember the tartar sauce was good. Jim |

She was right. They put shredded lettuce on them (I hate lettuce, even to this day). When I wouldn't eat them the teacher who was monitoring the cafeteria wouldn't let me go back to class because I refused to eat. I wound up in the principal's office. She called my mother, who told her not to worry about it, she knew I wouldn't eat it. Mom just wanted me to figure out they don't let 7 year old kids "custom order" food in the school cafeteria In high school I didn't eat cafeteria food. I do remember getting a slice of cardboard-like cheese pizza once. Only once. Jill |
